This iceberg-making submarine is proposed in a bid to counter the effects of global warming through "re-freezing seawater in the Arctic." The concept is put forth by Indonesian designer Faris Rajak Kotahatuhaha and the prototype has been devised in the collaborative company of Denny Lesmana Budi and Fiera Alifa. The project was submitted to an international competition for consideration and it won second place.
The iceberg-making machine will attempt to refreeze the Arctic by creating "hexagonal blocks of ice that nest together to form new ice floes." The device will do this by collecting water in a central tank. Reverse osmosis will filter some of the salt, while the turbines will blast cold air to contribute to freezing. In this time, the iceberg-making submarine would have raced the surface and delivered the ice.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Iceberg-making Submarines
- Creating submarines that can produce hexagonal blocks of ice to refreeze the Arctic and counter global warming.
Sectors Adopting This
- Marine Engineering
- Developing innovative technologies for the design and construction of iceberg-making submarines.
- Environmental Conservation
- Exploring solutions to combat climate change and preserve the Arctic through the use of iceberg-making submarines.
- Water Treatment
- Implementing reverse osmosis and filtration systems in order to convert seawater into ice blocks for re-freezing purposes.
